The Swing by INXS was my favorite album for a whole year plus, when I was in high school. I saw them live around then, opening for the Go-Go's.  But it was INXS I came to see.  It's a godlike album.  I had a t-shirt and everyone in school would wonder what the heck "INXS" meant. Hard to believe that back then, INXS and REM were fringe artists, at least at my high school.

the song Don't Change have a marvelous chord change (which just musicians notice), in the verse, where the riffs, goes a step lower, i love that, straight forward and just changes chords.

The camera pans?

I don't have headphones with me, I can't listen to it without disturbing people.

I sat down at a table and the lady at the table next to me shot me a look that I interpreted as "why the hell would you sit in the table next to me". I just wanted an outlet and options were limited.

Mattmatt, wanna play the speed mafia tomorrow, or are you busy?

It plaays A_A_A_A_A_A_A_A_A_A and then modulats up to G and F, in the verse in a very cool post-punk fassion

I haven't been called Mattmatt in a long time.

I still dunno, I can't tell how much stuff I'll have to do. I want to be able to say yes but I could randomly have to do something.

I'm going to listen to it when I get home. That sounds exciting in an INXS song. I grew up on the 80's new wave music (among other things).

I really wish I had headphones. I'm don't like modern R&B.

It is ok, but these past few months people seem to have switched to Mattie or similar, I don't know why.
